Charles's Story

Born in Albany in Western Australia, Charles Green competed for Australia at the London 1948 Olympic Games.

Green contested the 110m Hurdles at the Games, finishing fifth in his heat in a time of 15.4 seconds. The time was not good enough to see Green progress and although he was listed in the 100m and 400m relays, he did not compete.

Green won the Australian Championships for the 120 yards and 440 yards Hurdles in 1946/47 and placed third in both events at the 1950/51 Championships.
